Yes, i see this VERY frequently amongst animals (i care for animals for a living), and yes its uncomfortable (often actually quite painful) for them. Animals naturally hide their discomfort, so dont assume that their lack of obvious discomfort means they are actually not bothered by it.
I HIGHLY recommend that every pet owner keeps a bottle of saline eye rinse (available in any pharmacy store like cvs/walgreens/rite aid/etc) in their home.
When animals get hair/dust/etc in their eyes, rinse it out for them. They can't do it themselves and its much harder for them to try to dislodge debris in their eyes bc rubbing it with their paws often makes it worse. I also keep a bottle of lubricating eye drops in the house just for my pets as well bc when they've had something in their eye, it often has been there long enough to irritate it.
Product recommendations for any pet owner (cats, dogs, small and large animals included):
Saline eye rinse (to rinse debris/allergens/etc from the eye)
Antimicrobial opthalmic gel (to help facilitate healing and treat/prevent infection from any mild but uncomfortable corneal scratches, also really good for animals whose eyes are irritated due to allergies).
Lubricating eye drops (when an animal has had something in their eye for a while, the eye is often quite sensitive for a while after, a lubricating eye gel helps soothe and protect the eye, it helps them to put in drops 2x daily for 1-3 days after youve flushed something from their eye, or if they have allergies, this is something that is very soothing for them on a daily basis during times of allergy flare ups).
Edit: do NOT use just any random bottle of eyedrops. There are a variety of different types of eyedrops in drug stores and many of them are NOT suitable for use in animals eyes. Use ONLY lubricating eye drops (artificial tears), DO NOT use anything that has ingredients targeted towards other eye issues (redness, allergies, itching, contact lens care, cooling drops, etc). You only want to look for drops that say lubricating eye drops. I keep a bottle of Genteal lubricating eye drops (moderate to severe dry eye formula) in my house for animal use.
So you're saying that you would not buy this gel stuff that says "Veterinary recommended" and has a lot of reviews saying it works wonders for eye infections?
